OKB is a global utility token issued by the OK Blockchain Foundation and associated with the OKX (formerly OKEx) cryptocurrency exchange, one of the largest centralized trading platforms by trading volume. The token was first launched on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 asset, giving it an early place within the Ethereum ecosystem, and was later integrated into the OKT Chain (formerly OKChain) and the broader Sora-related ecosystem, expanding its cross-chain footprint. The total supply of OKB is capped at one billion tokens, of which roughly 60% were allocated for distribution to exchange users through community-building initiatives and marketing campaigns, while the remainder was subject to multi-year lockups. As a centralized exchange token, OKB functions as a platform utility asset used for fee discounts, trading benefits, and participation in services offered across the OKX platform and its affiliated products. The project originates from a China-based operator, and the token is included in major crypto market indexes that track large-cap digital assets.
